12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 8 – PILLOW BOX CHRISTMAS!

November 23, 2018November 23, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Week 8 today for our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. Are you enjoying these? I would love to hear what you think. I hope they are inspiring you. 🙂

Today’s project is a gift box. The Kraft Pillow Boxes make really quick gift packaging. They are large enough to add a gift card and even throw in a few chocolates.

For this one I have use the Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits. Not much longer to get these products if you want them.

I made a wrap for the Pillow Box using the Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper. Then added a strip of Old Olive cardstock around it. TIP: Assemble the Pillow Box before you adhere the paper so you have the right dimensions with it being expanded. The larger snowflake is cut with the White Velvet Paper, then a snowflake is stamped in Real Red on to Red card and cut with one of the snowflake Thinlits. A tiny snowflake is cut from the Copper Foil. I added a small bow from the Linen Thread. I just realised I edited this photo upside down as the bow doesn’t sit the right way. Oops! Oh well! That’s OK right. 😉

Simple but very easy to do. You can dress up any treat with these.

You can grab these Kraft Pillow Boxes in my store now -> HERE. Unfortunately they are not one of the discounted items for the Extravaganza but they are still great value at $8.75 for 10 boxes.

The Under The Mistletoe DSP is one of the papers at 10% off today and tomorrow for Extravaganza. Grab your pack at $17.32 in my store -> HERE. I have used this paper a lot this Christmas. Make sure you grab some for your Christmas creating.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Jenny

WEDNESDAY’S WOW! #47 – MAKING UP A SHIMMER PAINT SPRAY!

November 21, 2018November 21, 2018 Jenny Hayward

This weekend is my Shimmer Paint Technique class. I have been having lots of fun sponging and spraying this stuff around. For our Wednesday’s WOW! #47 I thought I would share with you how to make the Shimmer Spray up. Also, I will show you one of the cards we will make in class using this spray.

MAKE YOUR SHIMMER PAINT SPRAY

Add a small amount of the Shimmer Paint in a Stampin’ Spritzer bottle. I added about 1cm, or approximately 1/2″. The more paint the more intense the spray will be. Then top up the bottle with Rubbing Alcohol. The Rubbing Alcohol can be picked up at most Chemists (or Drug Stores). You can add water instead of alcohol but it doesn’t dry as quickly. Give it a good shake to mix them together. Before you use this each time if it has sat for a while then be sure to shake it. That’s all there is to it.

TIP: When you are spraying your card check which direction the nozzle is as to where it will spray … You might like to spray inside a box or cover the table to avoid any random spraying.

The further away you hold the spritzer the finer the mist will be. Bring the Spritzer in closer and it will be more heavier.

This is the card we will be creating on the weekend. (By the way there are still spaces if you are a Wollongong local and want to join us. Check the previous post for class details).

I have used the Southern Serenade stamp set and stamped it on to Shimmery White cardstock. That gives extra sparkle but also is good for the liquid used. I stamped the images in Black Stazon and coloured them with the Watercolor Pencils. After it was finished I spritzed the card. This spray is using the Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint.

You can see the Shimmer Paints on page 38 of the Holiday catalogue or view them in store ->HERE. Scroll down the page to see each one. There are 4 colours: Vegas Gold, Bright Copper, Champagne Mist (which is a silver) and Frost White.

Get your Free Sponge Dauber for each pot of Shimmer Paint you order from me this week. Each pot is $14.

VIDEO SURVEY – CAN YOU TAKE A MOMENT PLEASE?

November 16, 2018 Jenny Hayward

This is a different type of post today. I am considering classes and my direction for next year. Videos and tutorials are becoming a big part of the way we share stamping techniques and projects with each other. Is that how you want to see them??

I would love your views and have put together a very short survey. It is 2 very quick questions. Would you mind taking about 20 seconds out of your day to answer the 2 questions please??

That would be really great. I love to hear your ideas.

Here is the link to the survey -> HERE.

Thanks for taking the time to complete this for me. And Thanks for following me along on this crazy, creative journey. 🙂

12 WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS – WEEK 7 – PEEK A BOO GINGERBREAD MAN!

November 15, 2018November 15, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Today is Week 7 of our 12 Weeks of Christmas series. This card is a cute one if I can say that.

I haven’t used this stamp set for quite some time and was reminded of it recently. So I thought I would just have to use it for this week.

Here is my card. I call it my Peek A Boo Gingerbread man.

I have used the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper. A circle was cut in it with the Layering Circles Framelits and then adhered the legs of the gingerbread man behind the circle. Then a piece of white card was adhered to the back of the paper. Once it was all adhered on to the crumb cake mat and the card base I stuck an Dimensional behind his head to prop him up a little. The Crumb Cake card was embossed with the Sparkle Embossed Folder. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of Old Olive card and finished with a Red Rhinestone.

Hehe! Don’t you think he is cute?

Thanks for visiting me for our 7th week. Have you caught the past weeks projects? Be sure to click on the tag of 12 Weeks of Christmas at the bottom of this post on my blog to see them all.

ONSTAGE – BUDDY GIFTS AND SWAPS!

November 15, 2018November 15, 2018 Jenny Hayward

Did you catch the video in yesterday’s post with the swaps I received from Onstage? If not, head back to the last post. I have the still photos there too.

Today I wanted to share with you my buddy gifts and the swaps I made to share.

BUDDY GIFT PACKS

I made up little Gift Packs – or Onstage survival kits. 😉 I made up 4 of them.

These packs contained a notebook. I loved these notebooks. Two had on the front “Don’t Forget To Be Awesome” and the other two were “My Awesome Book of Brilliant Ideas”. I thought these would be great to write notes in at the Onstage sessions. In the packs there was some mini Tic Tacs, Tea Bag, Kit Kat Chocolate and of course Mini Post-It notes for the new catalogues. I will show you a close up of the tags I made.

THE TAGS

A scallop square was cut with the Layering Square Framelits and also a larger black square. On the white card I stamped the sentiment from the Around The Corner stamp set. Then stamped the small “flowery” centre shape on to Mango Melody Card and punched it out with the 3/4″ circle punch. Then I diecut a flower in Mango Melody Card from the Flourish Thinlits and layered them together. Before adhering the flower to the card with Dimensionals I stamped the leaf from the Around The Corner set in Granny Apple Green. The Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon was adhered between the white scallop square card and the black card. They are simple but I loved how they turned out.

MY SWAP

I didn’t have a lot of time to make swaps but I really wanted to and I knew I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to swap on the Saturday as I was helping with registration in the morning. So I kept the card simple and only ended up making 15 of them.

This was my swap card.

I have used the Rooted in Nature Bundle. The tree and the leaf were heat embossed in Copper and diecut out. The sentiment is from Wood Words stamp set. I wanted to go for an angle look so angled the paper from the Love What You Do Specialty Paper. Underneath the paper there was a strip of the Copper Foil Paper. To finish I tied a knot using the Copper Trim.

Now since I hadn’t made many swaps I had a few doubles of cards from recent classes so thought I would add those to the swap mix. These are the group of cards. I had 2-3 of each card. These were received well too.

Thanks everyone for swapping with me. I hope you liked your card you received from me.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU CARD

Earlier I mentioned that I was helping on the Saturday. This was the special card I received from Stampin’ Up! to say Thanks. Totally unexpected. It was signed by all the staff that were there. How lovely.

This uses the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.

Thanks for visiting me. I hope you like them.

Tomorrow is another 12 Weeks of Christmas Edition so see you then.
